Abstract
FAMILY PAMPHLET TO MINIMZE STIGMA FOR PERSONS LIVING WITH A SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS
R. Paul Johnson
Saybrook University

Individuals with mental illness have long experienced societal prejudice and discrimination, including among healthcare professionals. However, the stigma that comes from family and friends may have greater adverse impact.
This project-reviewed literature on the stigmas associated with a diagnosis of a serious mental illness (SMI), as experienced by the person and family, as factors that may contribute to family/friends inadvertently perpetuating stigmas. Therefore this project integrates literature review findings and the author’s personal/professional experiences in the design of a pamphlet intended to be utilized by family and friends of persons living with SMI in order to minimize stigma and maximize advocacy. It is hoped that such a pamphlet will increase awareness and empathy, thereby countering some of the known barriers persons with SMI may experience across the life span.

earnings growth on TSX gold companies falling short
of analysts’ expectations and underperforming gains in

it will be a turnaround in operating performance, rather
than dynamics in the gold price, that will be critical to a

seriously about upcoming 2015 rate hikes in the latter
half of 2014. If, as we expect, that actual and verbal
tightening takes place long before CPI has heated up, it
will cast serious doubts in the minds of those expecting
the Fed to take a cavalier attitude towards inﬂation risks.
Note that expectations for rate hikes in 2015 will also
push up bond yields, so the opportunity cost of holding
a gold bar with a zero yield will also be increasing over
the forecast horizon.

...Case 11-3 Master of the Universe Saturn Inc. (Saturn) and Venus Inc. (Venus), two unrelated parties, form Jupiter, a joint venture. Saturn owns 51 percent of Jupiter and Venus owns 49 percent of Jupiter. The purpose of Jupiter is to own and operate organic clothing design and manufacturing facilities and sell organic clothing to unrelated retailers. When Jupiter was formed, Saturn contributed $561 million to Jupiter and Venus contributed four manufacturing facilities with an assembled workforce, with a total fair value of $539 million to Jupiter. Venus was looking to exit its clothing manufacturing business, as this business no longer was a strategic fit for Venus. However, Saturn was looking to expand its footprint in the manufacturing of children’s clothing. In exchange for their contributions, Saturn and Venus received a combination of equity and debt securities for Jupiter (in proportion to their overall contributions). The Articles of Incorporation of Jupiter state the following in terms of governance and management of Jupiter: The Board of Jupiter (the “Board”) comprises eight individuals, four each appointed by Saturn and Venus. Both Saturn and Venus are able to nominate individuals for the position of CEO of Jupiter (the “CEO”). The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Jupiter. Most Board actions are passed by a simple majority vote; however, the following actions cannot be taken without unanimous approval of the Board: o Appointment and removal of the......

...SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY OF COMPUTING PROJECTS
INTRODUCTION:
A project can be defined as a process of creating a new product or service. It has a beginning and an end as stated by (Project Management Institute 2008). The outcome of a project is said to be tangible or intangible, even though it may present some project deliverable and activities, this will not change the unique characteristic of a project. However, the most essential part of a project are the relations stuck between the planning variables and their influences on project success. Most time managers advocate that project is successful if it meet the important target, namely, appropriate specification, cost, time and quality. This has significant benefits to organizations. However, Proper analysis will be done on how Waterfall and Agile Project Management carried out various projects successfully, and how the most recent computing projects turned out.
WATERFALL PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
This is a traditional approach, the waterfall model is a systems development life cycle model for software engineering (Project Management Institute 2008). Often considered the classic approach to the systems development life cycle, the waterfall model describes a development method that is linear and sequential. Waterfall development has distinct goals for each phase of development. The Waterfall approach suggests that the assessment of risks should be carried out at the beginning of the project. To carry out risk......

Introduction
Masters Home Improvement is the trading name of an Australian Home Improvement chain, operated by a joint venture between Australian Retailer Woolworths Limited and Mooresville, North Carolina (United States) based hardware chain, Lowe's.[2] Masters was created as a way for Woolworths Limited to crack into the hardware retail space, which has been historically dominated by Bunnings Warehouse, which is owned by arch rival Wesfarmers. The two companies already compete with each other with groceries and general merchandise.
The brand name was announced on 2 May 2011,[3] coinciding with the launch of a website at masters.com.au.[4] Hans Hulsbosch, who has designed brand identities for Woolworths & Qantas designed the Masters brand and logo.[5]
The first outlet, located in Braybrook, Victoria, opened to tradesmen on 31 August 2011, and the general public on 1 September 2011.[6] In the Sydney Morning Herald, CEO Don Stallings is attributed as saying that staff will be trained for at least 100 hours, and the stores will offer over 35,000 products.[7] Ways in which Masters will differentiate from its competitors include stores which are more brightly lit, more colourful with polished concrete, large colour signage and store displays, it aims to place more emphases on attracting female shoppers, buzzers scattered around the store which when pressed, will send a nearby staff member to that location to help out a customer,...

Assignment Question
In organizations that lack strategic direction there is a tendency to look inwards in time of stress, management to cut costs and shade unprofitable divisions. This means that focus is on efficiency (relationship between inputs and output in short time horizon) rather than effectiveness (attainment of desired competitive position). Efficiency is introspective whereas effectiveness highlights the link between the organization and the environment.
Discuss the above statements while giving specific examples in the Zimbabwean context.
Introduction
An organization that lacks strategic direction is like radar less boat. Failure to have a clear business strategic direction defeats the whole essence of engaging in that line of business, hence the need for organizations to charter their clear courses of action that help achieve the primary business objective of profitability and maximizing shareholders wealth by drawing much attention to the vision and mission of the organisation. The vision and the mission statement will enshrine the basic philosophy of the business by entailing an organization’s purpose of existence. It is the environment which we are operating on which helps make certain decisions in our......

What he founds to be true in that study habits survey was thatmore than 30 years ago still rings true today--students fail because they donot know how to study .The best advice he can give is to develop sound study skill
He said that a student should make sure that he/she has a good studyenvironment, a good desk, a sturdy chair, good light, comfortable roomtemperature and a quiet atmosphere. That means he/she should eliminate allexternal and internal distractions. Second, get a good overview of theassignment before starting the work.

ABSTRACT
A
school’s climate has a direct impact on its students’ abilities to achieve. Schools with a positive atmosphere encourage and welcome the participation of faculty, students and parents, which in turn make
the school successful. The professional school counselor is in a unique position to make a difference by ascertaining and evaluating the climate of his or her school. As the student advocate, the professional school counselor can facilitate the process of bringing together key members of the school community to evaluate and improve his or her school’s climate. It has shown that productivity increases when all shareholders are not only satisfied with their school but also feel vested through pride and ownership. Research has demonstrated that school climate is an integral part of effective schools. This packet identifies the components of a healthy school environment, outlines some symptoms of a poor climate and describes a process schools can use to assess and develop school climate improvement projects. This outline includes activities, as well as an audience participation awareness exercise, all of which ultimately aim to better our students.

...I - INTRODUCTION:
Historically, the American political system exists to govern and protect the social welfare of the people. Through the electoral process, governmental officials are chosen. The bureaucratic officials are influenced by four basic ideologies which guides their decision making process. Conservative, Libertarian, Liberal, and Radical are the four ideologies in question. Firstly, I will define the four political ideologies. Secondly, I will apply my definitions to a single example. Third, I will analyze the Harlem Project from a liberal and radical ideology’s perspective. Next, my analysis will be of the federal and local government, of the causes of the problem, of the strategies taken to solve the problem, and the core values that underpin the solution. Finally, I will incorporate systems terminology and apply systems concepts.
II.- DEFINITIONS
All four ideologies listed in this paper present a different view; however, several of them share overlapping similarities.
People identifying with the conservative ideology believe in maintaining things, as they currently exist, personal responsibility, hard work, preserving tradition, moral values, and social stratification. Conservative officials focus on preserving conservative platforms and eliminating reforms established during periods of other ideological power. This group deduces that each individual should be responsible for gaining their own wealth through hard work and perseverance. The......
